2024-07-15net: Change the API of PHY default timestamp to MACKory Maincent
Change the API to select MAC default time stamping instead of the PHY. Indeed the PHY is closer to the wire therefore theoretically it has less delay than the MAC timestamping but the reality is different. Due to lower time stamping clock frequency, latency in the MDIO bus and no PHC hardware synchronization between different PHY, the PHY PTP is often less precise than the MAC. The exception is for PHY designed specially for PTP case but these devices are not very widespread. For not breaking the compatibility default_timestamp flag has been introduced in phy_device that is set by the phy driver to know we are using the old API behavior.

2019-12-25net: Introduce a new MII time stamping interface.Richard Cochran
Currently the stack supports time stamping in PHY devices. However, there are newer, non-PHY devices that can snoop an MII bus and provide time stamps. In order to support such devices, this patch introduces a new interface to be used by both PHY and non-PHY devices. In addition, the one and only user of the old PHY time stamping API is converted to the new interface.

2015-07-09net: skb_defer_rx_timestamp should check for phydev before setting up classifyAlexander Duyck
This change makes it so that the call skb_defer_rx_timestamp will first check for a phydev before going in and manipulating the skb->data and skb->len values. By doing this we can avoid unnecessary work on network devices that don't support phydev. As a result we reduce the total instruction count needed to process this on most devices.

2014-09-05net-timestamp: Make the clone operation stand-alone from phy timestampingAlexander Duyck
The phy timestamping takes a different path than the regular timestamping does in that it will create a clone first so that the packets needing to be timestamped can be placed in a queue, or the context block could be used. In order to support these use cases I am pulling the core of the code out so it can be used in other drivers beyond just phy devices. In addition I have added a destructor named sock_efree which is meant to provide a simple way for dropping the reference to skb exceptions that aren't part of either the receive or send windows for the socket, and I have removed some duplication in spots where this destructor could be used in place of sock_edemux.

2014-09-05net-timestamp: Merge shared code between phy and regular timestampingAlexander Duyck
This change merges the shared bits that exist between skb_tx_tstamp and skb_complete_tx_timestamp. By doing this we can avoid the two diverging as there were already changes pushed into skb_tx_tstamp that hadn't made it into the other function. In addition this resolves issues with the fact that skb_complete_tx_timestamp was included in linux/skbuff.h even though it was only compiled in if phy timestamping was enabled.

2014-04-01net: ptp: move PTP classifier in its own fileDaniel Borkmann
This commit fixes a build error reported by Fengguang, that is triggered when CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING is not set: ERROR: "ptp_classify_raw" [drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe.ko] undefined! The fix is to introduce its own file for the PTP BPF classifier, so that PTP_1588_CLOCK and/or NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING can select it independently from each other. IXP4xx driver on ARM needs to select it as well since it does not seem to select PTP_1588_CLOCK or similar that would pull it in automatically. This also allows for hiding all of the internals of the BPF PTP program inside that file, and only exporting relevant API bits to drivers. This patch also adds a kdoc documentation of ptp_classify_raw() API to make it clear that it can return PTP_CLASS_* defines. Also, the BPF program has been translated into bpf_asm code, so that it can be more easily read and altered (extensively documented in [1]). In the kernel tree under tools/net/ we have bpf_asm and bpf_dbg tools, so the commented program can simply be translated via `./bpf_asm -c prog` where prog is a file that contains the commented code. This makes it easily readable/verifiable and when there's a need to change something, jump offsets etc do not need to be replaced manually which can be very error prone. Instead, a newly translated version via bpf_asm can simply replace the old code. I have checked opcode diffs before/after and it's the very same filter.

2014-03-31net: ptp: do not reimplement PTP/BPF classifierDaniel Borkmann
There are currently pch_gbe, cpts, and ixp4xx_eth drivers that open-code and reimplement a BPF classifier for the PTP protocol. Since all of them effectively do the very same thing and load the very same PTP/BPF filter, we can just consolidate that code by introducing ptp_classify_raw() in the time-stamping core framework which can be used in drivers. As drivers get initialized after bootstrapping the core networking subsystem, they can make use of ptp_insns wrapped through ptp_classify_raw(), which allows to simplify and remove PTP classifier setup code in drivers.

2014-03-31net: ptp: use sk_unattached_filter_create() for BPFDaniel Borkmann
This patch migrates an open-coded sk_run_filter() implementation with proper use of the BPF API, that is, sk_unattached_filter_create(). This migration is needed, as we will be internally transforming the filter to a different representation, and therefore needs to be decoupled. It is okay to do so as skb_timestamping_init() is called during initialization of the network stack in core initcall via sock_init(). This would effectively also allow for PTP filters to be jit compiled if bpf_jit_enable is set. For better readability, there are also some newlines introduced, also ptp_classify.h is only in kernel space. Joint work with Alexei Starovoitov.

2011-10-24net: hold sock reference while processing tx timestampsRichard Cochran
The pair of functions, * skb_clone_tx_timestamp() * skb_complete_tx_timestamp() were designed to allow timestamping in PHY devices. The first function, called during the MAC driver's hard_xmit method, identifies PTP protocol packets, clones them, and gives them to the PHY device driver. The PHY driver may hold onto the packet and deliver it at a later time using the second function, which adds the packet to the socket's error queue. As pointed out by Johannes, nothing prevents the socket from disappearing while the cloned packet is sitting in the PHY driver awaiting a timestamp. This patch fixes the issue by taking a reference on the socket for each such packet. In addition, the comments regarding the usage of these function are expanded to highlight the rule that PHY drivers must use skb_complete_tx_timestamp() to release the packet, in order to release the socket reference, too. These functions first appeared in v2.6.36.

2010-11-19filter: optimize sk_run_filterEric Dumazet
Remove pc variable to avoid arithmetic to compute fentry at each filter instruction. Jumps directly manipulate fentry pointer. As the last instruction of filter[] is guaranteed to be a RETURN, and all jumps are before the last instruction, we dont need to check filter bounds (number of instructions in filter array) at each iteration, so we remove it from sk_run_filter() params. On x86_32 remove f_k var introduced in commit 57fe93b374a6b871 (filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory) Note : We could use a CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_{FEW|MANY}_REGISTERS in order to avoid too many ifdefs in this code. This helps compiler to use cpu registers to hold fentry and A accumulator. On x86_32, this saves 401 bytes, and more important, sk_run_filter() runs much faster because less register pressure (One less conditional branch per BPF instruction) # size net/core/filter.o net/core/filter_pre.o text data bss dec hex filename 2948 0 0 2948 b84 net/core/filter.o 3349 0 0 3349 d15 net/core/filter_pre.o on x86_64 : # size net/core/filter.o net/core/filter_pre.o text data bss dec hex filename 5173 0 0 5173 1435 net/core/filter.o 5224 0 0 5224 1468 net/core/filter_pre.o Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: Changli Gao <xiaosuo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-07-18net: support time stamping in phy devices.Richard Cochran
This patch adds a new networking option to allow hardware time stamps from PHY devices. When enabled, likely candidates among incoming and outgoing network packets are offered to the PHY driver for possible time stamping. When accepted by the PHY driver, incoming packets are deferred for later delivery by the driver. The patch also adds phylib driver methods for the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl and callbacks for transmit and receive time stamping. Drivers may optionally implement these functions.
